Luke Chaddick, LCSW

Luke Chaddick is a Louisiana-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who approaches therapeutic work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He focuses on meeting each person where they are, shaping conversations and care plans around the specific needs presented rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

With experience supporting clients through LGBT-related concerns, Luke emphasizes an affirming, nonjudgmental atmosphere that helps people explore identity, relationships, and related stressors. He tailors both the dialog and the treatment plan to reflect each client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, collaborating to find practical ways forward.

Luke recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and offers encouragement to those taking that first step. He aims to create a compassionate space where clients feel seen and heard while working toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Luke uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the goals and pace of work. This approach helps people who need support processing identity, relationships, or life transitions by prioritizing their values and lived experience.

He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping skills through practical, goal-oriented strategies.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. This approach can support stress management, panic symptoms, and emotional regulation by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Luke will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the mix of approaches rather than prescribing a single path.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access care from home, and choose the format that feels most effective for ongoing progress.
